My husband and I went to Italy in the fall for holidays and excursions. We stayed at the Cristallo hotel. Just in September there were good discounts on rooms, for two of us a room cost 65 euros per day, breakfasts were included in this amount. The hotel is not bad - fully justifies its 3 stars. The beach is very close - the view from the balcony directly to the sea.

My husband and I went to Italy in the fall for holidays and excursions. We stayed at the Cristallo hotel. Just in September there were good discounts on rooms, for two of us a room cost 65 euros per day, breakfasts were included in this amount. The hotel is not bad - fully justifies its 3 stars. The beach is very close - the view from the balcony directly to the sea. There are all kinds of entertainment nearby, the rooms are clean and comfortable, what else do you need? ! We agreed on excursions with Alexander, called him directly from Moscow, his prices suited us, upon arrival the service did not disappoint. I want to warn you that, as in any country, there are enough boors and throwers in Italy. (Although often these are not indigenous people. ) Italians are generally very impulsive people, but not at all evil. I watched the scene in the restaurant, how some Italian was arguing with another Italian, gesturing desperately at the same time, we would have had one outcome - this was a fight, and after 5 minutes they were already hugging like best friends... Yes, in Italy a lot is striking, culture and art, of course, on altitude, monuments and cathedrals delight and for outdoor enthusiasts there is where to hang out. My husband and I did just that when we managed to combine - during the day we went on excursions or to clothing outlets, and in the evening we hung out in clubs. I was struck by the Italian park in miniature, very convenient for those who did not have time to visit all the places where they would like. Of course, this is not quite the same, but the overall impression is great, in front of you is the whole of Italy, tiny streets, cathedrals, shops, monuments. It seems that I got into the country of Lilliputians and I really want to become small in order to run through these streets at least once. We also went to Venice and the island of Murano, where they make the famous Murano glass, went on excursions to factories and saw how a shapeless hot mass turns into a work of art under the hands of a master - very beautiful. In the evening we had dinner in restaurants, listened to Italian singing, my husband gave me flowers - it was very romantic... I didn’t want to return at all - but all good things come to an end. Yes - even though we spent a lot of money, we did not deny ourselves anything! For those who wish, I can leave the phone of the person who showed us Italy from the inside 3463250884 Alexander.

I was at the hotel at 8 am and only settled at 14. This is despite the fact that the official check-out is at 10, and the check-in is at 12. The hotel was filled by a third due to the end of the season, why the small kennel had to wait 6 hours, remained a mystery to me. I didn’t dare to leave my suitcase and go for a walk due to the lack of a left-luggage office (some left things behind a screen, but they took a big risk, at the reception they didn’t even look in this direction and were generally absent for a long time).

I didn’t dare to leave my suitcase and go for a walk due to the lack of a left-luggage office (some left things behind a screen, but they took a big risk, at the reception they didn’t even look in this direction and were generally absent for a long time). The room turned out to be tiny 2x1.5 meters, the balcony overlooked the neighboring hotel, the light almost did not penetrate inside. In general, hotels in Rimini have practically no territory, they are stumbled with maximum density. The walls were so thin that I could hear everything the German neighbor (luckily he was my only neighbor) did when he got up, when he took a shower, when he spoke on the phone, and in some cases, even what was answered. In general, I have never encountered such neglect and rudeness as in this hotel, although I am picky: in Kemer, Marmaris, Sharm el-Sheikh, Lloret de Mar, Ayia Napa I stayed in 3-4 * hotels. Somehow I returned at two in the morning, the door was closed, there was not a soul at the reception, it was impossible to get into the room in other ways. She pounded on the door for quite a long time, until she finally woke up the old nervous Negro. The Negro, half asleep, half stoned, yelled at me that I did not respect his hard work, but he let me in anyway. The food is hearty, but tasteless, meat is rarely served and it looks unnatural, it is difficult to understand the menu, the waiter cannot really explain what kind of dish it is because of not knowing English. The sea is shallow, muddy, gray-green in calm, like the Gulf of Finland, if small waves rose, it acquired the color of "coffee with milk", like the Sea of u200bu200bAzov in the city of Yeysk, the price of a sunbed is 10 euros, if you take a hotel card at the reception - 7. Clubs dispersed throughout the city, so that on foot you can get to any one. The entrance price starts at 15 euros, although there is nothing special there. The cost of more or less decent leather items (shoes or bags) starts from 100 euros. I really regret the money and nerves spent, I hope to never again be in this disgusting hotel and unattractive city.

A hotel for a seaside holiday was chosen for a long time. I didn't want to ruin my vacation with a bad experience. We hesitated for a long time between Audi and Corallo. We chose the latter and did not regret it (at least I did). He fully deserved his 3 super (and maybe more). The hotel is not big: 4 floors. There is a swimming pool in front of the hotel building.

A hotel for a seaside holiday was chosen for a long time. I didn't want to ruin my vacation with a bad experience. We hesitated for a long time between Audi and Corallo. We chose the latter and did not regret it (at least I did). He fully deserved his 3 super (and maybe more). The hotel is not big: 4 floors. There is a swimming pool in front of the hotel building. At the entrance, a red motorcycle stands in the window. At the reception, they will talk to you in Italian, English, as well as the language of facial expressions and gestures. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom (in our room for sure) is large, which is very important if three girls are resting. The rooms were cleaned in a timely manner. The room has a mini-bar, air conditioning, TV with three Russian channels: RTR Planet, Vesti, Channel 1. The Baunti bar is located in the hotel building, where every evening there is a lot of people and live music. But all this does not interfere with rest and sleep. Our windows overlooked the street, but the soundproofing is good, so noisy Rimini can be heard. They fed very well. We had NV. Breakfasts are continental. Dinner is just lovely (I think dinners are no worse). You will be offered a salad bar, snacks (mostly vegetables), fruits (8 types), dessert. Dinner also includes 2 hot dishes: 1) soup or 3 types of pasta; 2) fish (seafood) or 3 types of meat dishes. On the table is a piece of paper with a menu for the next day, where you can choose your own dishes. True, the menu is in English, but having a dictionary is quite understandable. The waiters speak English, French and Italian. The hotel has good animation. If you are relaxing with children, they will always be supervised both at the hotel and on the beach. Older children can be safely left by the pool, there is always an adult from the hotel. The language barrier is easily overcome by children. In the evening we saw a production of Little Red Riding Hood performed by Italian, French and Russian children. With children on the beach, they draw under a canopy, arrange competitions for the best sand castle, etc. Near the hotel there is a Billa supermarket where you can buy inexpensive products (for example: peaches cost 1 € there, and 3 € on stalls in the neighborhood; water (0.5 l) in the city on average - 1 €, there 0.30 €).

We were at the hotel from 7 to 13 July. At the reception, at first they were confused, because they began to speak Italian with us, they don’t speak English very well, but nevertheless they explained everything very kindly! The hotel is very comfortable, clean, with a good atmosphere and friendly staff! As for the cuisine, at first we didn’t understand the names and chose something incomprehensible, but then we became friends with the waiter (Michael you are the best! ))))) who advised us what was tastier and always turned out to be right, so I advise you to ask what better take! The beach is across the road from the hotel, umbrellas and sun loungers are paid, free of charge only on the territory of the hotel, where the pool is located, very warm and clean by the way! The hotel itself is in a convenient location, you can walk to the center, we even walked to the disco a couple of times))) In the evenings, the animators arrange performances, competitions, karaoke on the territory of the hotel, they love children, they do a lot with them, entertain everyone all the time! the only negative is that they practically do not speak English, but we initially chose such a hotel so that there would be as few of our compatriots as possible, so our vacation can be called completely and completely cultural! I recommend the hotel!.

We were at the hotel from July 13 to July 27.2008. We went to travel around Italy, and not lie on the beach, left early, arrived late, sometimes did not spend the night at the hotel, there were corresponding requirements for the hotel. We lived on the third floor with a direct view of the sea. The room is moderately spacious, large by Italian standards.

We were at the hotel from July 13 to July 27.2008. We went to travel around Italy, and not lie on the beach, left early, arrived late, sometimes did not spend the night at the hotel, there were corresponding requirements for the hotel.
We lived on the third floor with a direct view of the sea. The room is moderately spacious, large by Italian standards. Large balcony.
In mid-July, the hotel was 50-60% full, by the time we left, almost all the rooms were occupied. The hotel is clean, daily cleaning of rooms and common areas, regular change of linen and towels, a really large swimming pool, a terrace on the 4th floor, there was not a single complaint against the staff, everything is clear, polite and with a smile.
There is a bus stop near the hotel 12, on foot to the railway station through the park and under the railway tracks 20 minutes on foot. A free shuttle bus to Le Befane shopping center stops every hour at Tripoli Square, adjacent to the hotel.
The building of the hotel houses a cult place among local youth - the Bounty restaurant-pub, every evening there is live music and crowds of people who want to enter. Despite this, it does not interfere with the hotel in any way, with the windows closed, absolutely nothing is heard, moreover, the main audience of the hotel is grandparents with grandchildren.
The staff practically does not speak Russian, however, he does not know English very well)) although you can always explain yourself on your fingers. Several times the waiter tried to talk to us in Russian, not only did he not understand anything, but when he tried to speak in English, he became nervous and hurriedly retreated. Huge beach, nice, fine sand.
The location of the hotel is excellent, you can walk to the main attractions of Rimini, at worst, take the bus (10 tickets for 8 euros), buy at the railway station. After 22.00 people go out into the streets, the main movement around the hotel and towards Riccione.
In general, the hotel left a pleasant impression. Now for the cons. The main downside is the food! It turned out that for the first time we went with paid breakfast and dinner. I strongly recommend not to repeat our mistake. Breakfast is quite poor - 3 kinds of sausage, one (! ) kind of cheese, coffee from the machine, 2 kinds of buns, boiled egg, bananas, peaches, two kinds of juice from the machine.
Dinner is even worse) during dinner, a menu is issued for the current date and the next day, where you mark the required dishes from 6-7-8 positions, it seems to be not bad, right? We were served by an elderly Italian woman, always smiling, everything was done quickly, but often brought not what was ordered, due to poor eyesight and lack of glasses and complete lack of knowledge of English. However, on the second day we found a common language with her. The quality of food for dinner is poor, if not terrible, often the food required freedom%) Among the guests of the hotel were our compatriots, a young mother with a child for dinner ordered almost the entire set + gathered fruit, perhaps the only way to feed the child with anything then edible.
As I wrote above, there was also a waiter who constantly interfered with the hotel guests, on the second week of our stay, he mistook us for just arrived and began to explain in broken Russian what you can order, perhaps only this moment really pissed us off.
Otherwise, a very good hotel!

In a nutshell, I liked the hotel! We went together with my wife. Clean, comfortable, delicious food, a choice of several dishes, we got a smart and talkative waiter, his name is Michele (hello to him! ), Quite normal rooms for Italy (we had a balcony on the side, you can see the sea and the clock tower) all plumbing works.

Clean, comfortable, delicious food, a choice of several dishes, we got a smart and talkative waiter, his name is Michele (hello to him! ), Quite normal rooms for Italy (we had a balcony on the side, you can see the sea and the clock tower) all plumbing works. The room has air conditioning, a safe and a refrigerator at no extra charge. The administrators at the reception are friendly, but they only speak Italian, English and French, in Russian -non parlono. The hotel is located close enough to the train station - 20 minutes on foot, 7 minutes by bus. the sea across the road (it's great to swim at 6 am before breakfast, there are few people, the sea is clean and calm, only there are a lot of crabs, and they strive to chop off their toes : )....joke.
Didn't like it - building from the side of the street, but it's temporary.
Here are some ideas for leisure activities in Rimini
The historical center is interesting, the squares are especially beautiful.
Go to Mirabilandia - this is an amusement park (train to Ravena to Lido di classe station (40 min), and there is a free bus (10 min). Take a ride on Katuna !! ! and Niagara, see the police school. There is a water park in Riccione, the neighbors went , said GREAT!!! There are "funny" slides.
Visit Bologna, a very interesting city-gallery, there is something to see, I recommend it!
But before relaxing in Rimini on the beach, you need to go around Italy by bus along the classic route 1 (if you haven’t been yet, of course).

From the outside it looks like a very nice hotel. The rooms are as lucky - maybe a double room with a double bed, or maybe a double room with two beds and plus one bunk. The kitchen is average. Since we were in autumn, it is quite gloomy on the streets.
